The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews that continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. The obtained data were analyzed using MAXQDA software. Findings were organized in three sets: basic, organizing and comprehensive themes. Based on the obtained results, the mentioned framework consists of three comprehensive levels as described within the organization, management and meta-structure. Effective and strategic change is achieved when the adaptive approach is based on structural change, human relations, technology, leadership, interaction and innovation in the areas of flexibility, synergy, emerging order, leadership style, networking, perfectionism, open innovation and cohesion in organizations.
